I had 14 lab work orders done back in mid-Dec, so is “eGFR or GFR” what I’m looking for in all those tests’ data?

Either of those. People with no known kidney disorders get the eGFR. The GFR takes several hours at the doctor’s office to perform on you. GFR is the most accurate.

If you don’t see eGFR, then your creatinine number or Cystatin C number(s) map it for you, using a formula or a calculator.

One calculator is here:
